Special guest for the event, Nagaland Football Coaches Association (NFCA) & Northern Angami Youth Organization (NAYO) president, Roko Angami lauded HSWO for making efforts to create unity through football.
While appreciating sacrifices made by mothers, he recalled how he was raised by a widowed mother with no female sibling.
He said nothing could replace a mother’s love and that it was priceless.
Encouraging women to realize their worth in the society, he said there was nothing that a woman would not be able to do.
The football coach also shared his delight on how the organizations chose football to promote unity, making the event even more meaningful.
In a brief remark, High School Panchayat ward-1, chairman, Keduotuolie Mepfhüo said that the sporting event was a day for mothers to have fun, even as they carry out their daily responsibilities.
He informed that the ward is the biggest ward under KMC areawise, covering about 3 KM. As it includes seven localities under one ward, he said that there were several challenges in carrying out any activity(ies).
